MCP support

The README describes image processing capabilities as API tools and provides an MCP server setup example, but does not specify which interfaces the server exposes to clients.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Our documentation

These tools are available via our comprehensive API documentation, enabling easy integration into your own applications.


Below is a description of each tool available in our API, highlighting its core functionality and ideal use cases.


image_upscaler – Image Enhancing & Upscaling Processing

Enhances image resolution using AI-powered super-resolution models. Maintains edge sharpness and fine details, making it ideal for enlarging blurry or low-quality images without losing clarity.


scratch_fix – Image Scratch Repair

Automatically detects and restores scratches, dots, stains, and other damage in old or scanned photographs. Perfect for digitally restoring vintage or damaged photos.


colorize_photo – Colorize Black and White Photos

Applies AI-based colorization to grayscale images. Restores natural tones such as skin color and background elements, giving new life to historical or monochrome photos.


face_restoration – Face Restoration

Specializes in enhancing and restoring facial details in low-quality or damaged images. Ideal for old portraits, blurry faces, or photo enhancement in general.


background_remover – Background Removal

Automatically removes image backgrounds with high accuracy, isolating the main subject. Useful for e-commerce, design, or portrait editing.


background_changer – Background Replacement

Replaces the original image background with a new one. Supports both solid color and custom image backgrounds to fit different creative or branding needs.


image_denoiser – Image Denoising

Removes visual noise from images while preserving essential details and textures. Effective for enhancing photos taken in low-light or noisy environments. It is a great choice for restoring astrophotography and photos taken in low-light environments.


image_compressor – Image Compression

Optimized for SEO and page speed — compressing images reduces file size while maintaining quality, resulting in faster load times and better search engine rankings.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
